The jury found Lasley JR. guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, KCRG reported.

A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. Lasley faces a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, a $500,000 fine, $200 in special assessments and up ten years of supervised release following any imprisonment.

KCRG reported that Lasley's attorney was not disputing that Lasley killed his parents, but claimed insanity at the time.

Two psychologists testifying for the defense last week said Lasley had paranoid schizophrenia or had delusional disorder at the time of the killings. But a psychologist testifying for the prosecution said Lasley didn't have a mental disease or defect at the time.
